Integral points on elliptic curves over function fields of positive characteristic

From MaRDI portal





Let \(E/K\) be a semi-stable elliptic curve with non-constant \(j\)-invariant, where \(K\) is a function field of genus \(g\) over the algebraically closed field \(K\) of characteristic \(p>3\). In the paper, various bounds for the height of rational points and the torsion are given. These include: (i) lower bounds for the canonical height \(\widehat h(P)\), where \(P\in E(K) \) is non-torsion (Theorem 5, stated in a somewhat confusing fashion); (ii) \(| E(K)_{\text{tor}}|\leq 2 \sigma_{E/K}\), where \(\sigma_{E/K}\) is the Szpiro ratio (Theorem 7); (iii) an upper bound for \(| E(R_s)|\), the number of \(S\)-integral points, where \(S\) is a finite set of places and \(S\)-integrality is with respect to an \(S\)-minimal model of \(E/K\) (Theorem 5). These are analogues over function fields of ``number field results or sharpenings of earlier results of David, Goldfeld-Szpiro, and Hindry-Silverman.
